Lava in My Bones, The

“Webster has written a vast, exuberant and optimistic epic about the ebbs and flows of the lava-like oils that lubricate the world’s engine, emphasizing the transformative power of love.” —National Post

“The Lava in My Bones is, quite simply, a fabulous book … “Magical,” “compelling,” “electric,” complex, troubling, and contradictory, The Lava in My Bones is a book that I will read repeatedly throughout my life, illuminating crap times and hard knocks with the seismically wild, deeply relevant and earnest irreverence of it all.” —Lambda Literary

“A joyous fairytale about familial dysfunction and our connection to Mother Earth. Webster writes halluncinatory prose with zany gusto … This is an exhuberantly written novel.” —Quill and Quire (STARRED REVIEW)
